elise's first camping trip

our church does a camping trip every summer and this was our third year going. we had a fantastic time with friends. elise did great for her first trip. and though it rained here and there, God was very kind in giving us lots of nice weather and hardly any bugs! here's the highlights.
elise and her daddy practicing with their hiking backpack. i can really see justin in her in this picture. can you? (they got to use this on the trip when we hiked to a waterfall. a friend took some pictures on her camera. i'll post them later.)

elise napping in the camper

on the beach. don't you just love this face? she's finally understanding to smile when i have the camera, and now i can't get her to stop!

dipping her toes in the water. don't you just love those legs of hers?!

elise and her mama

daddy helping her finish her dinner

getting a bath...camping style!

think she enjoyed it? :)

it rained monsoon style our last night there. thank you Lord that my husband bought us the pop up camper. it was a blessing!! here's elise sitting in the car with me while daddy packed everything up.

we were blessed with free tickets to a water park nearby, so some folks from our care group got to go. it rained and we left early, but not before we got some fun in. here they are by the wave pool.

and so ended our third camping trip with church and our first (very successful and fun) camping trip with elise.
